Decoration Day passed off pleasant
ly but with fewer people out than is
usual. The Grafton by Allan Fay,
ESQ.,, was one of the best ever deliv-
cred in this place; the procession was
fine, headed by the Marshfeld and
Cabot cOrnet bands, followed by Nor

clergymen and citizens. The music
was good and the promenade concert
in the evening financial success.
One of the severest storms ever
known in this vicinity, visited our viii

the dust. In the village and vicinity
crops were destroyed in some instances,
trees were stripped of their leaves and
hail stones lay on the ground to the
depth of several inches, in some places
remaining until the next afternoon.

The Atlantic Revival.

Religious meetings under the aus
pices OF the several churches, have been
i'll progress at Atlantic for several
weeks and great interest is being
awakened among the masses. The in
fiuenee has extended to all classes. and
greater work is being wrought for
the cause. On Sunday all assembly of a
thousand persons listened to the t.uths
presented by the worthy pastors, and
when opportunity was given for an
expression of conviction, y full score
took the initiative step by rising 10 their
feet. The resident pastors are all able
sneD, whose sermons and labors inspire
confidence and faith in the supreme
cause they espouse, and are entitled to
general cOngratulation for the results
s'hich through divine aid they have
been enabled to accomplish.
The people of the west are busted
with the work of developing and build.
ing up the country: business enterprise
and industries seem to have preoccu
pied the mind, and it may be hailed a.
an encouraging sign when attention
has been diverted from the art of mon
ey getting to the supreme interest

Price Of Hogs.

The old story is being repeated, of de
cline i'll the price of hogs, just at the
time the principal part of the crop is
ready for market. Combinations, pools
and trusts among the few pork packers
easily arrange these matters 1t will
continue at depressed rate until near
~ all are marketed. And if one of the
pool is asked TO give reason for decline
this year, he will give false and hypo-
critical reply, that there is large sur
plus of last years crop, large supply
this year, decline of demand for pork
abroad, and the advance in railroad
freights." These make very formid.
able show. And yet not one of them is
true. The surplus left over is less than
for many years. Instead Of large sup
ply this year, there has been loca
cause in nearly every state for short
one. Short corn crop last year and this
operate first of anything on the animal
which is mainly fed on corn. Nor is
there less foreign demand, as some OF
the European governments are needing
our pork and beef for their armies and
navies, and have made large contracts
with American packers this fall, and
stipulate that the meats are to be pack,
ed under the suservision and inspection
of government agents, sent here fol
that purpose, to see that diseased or
trichinous hogs are not used. The In.
crease in frieghts on railroads is a ca
nard, and is false The whole scheme
is simple and plain one in which the
hog producer is skinned and scalded.
1t is hard to decid. what course to re-
commend to farmers. y large number
of them are already Iii debt, and their
farms mortgaged, and it is next to i'm
possible for them to pack their hogs,
and wait for the rising tide arranged
for by the pools. But it will come, all

Audubon Markets.

The Audubon market places during
the past week have presented busy
scenes, and prices paid have more than
sustained the reputation of local buyers
for giving the producers all the foreign
markets can afford. Competitor has
been brisk. but the contest reached the
climax on Tuesday, when one firm ran
corn up TO 80 cents and took all that
was offered. Several other buyers clos
ed their doors, and to the inquiries OF
farmers replied that the commodity
was not wanted. Yesterday the price
was one cent lower, but there was nc
abatement i'm the amount sold or de
hvered. Over four thousand bushels
were weighed over Stuart & Sons
scales, to which continual stream OF
loaded wagons poured.
All that is being bought will be i'm.
mediately fed out or shipped to market
as soon as cars can be secured, the de
mands all along the line having over,
taxed the carrying capacity of the roads
1t is, indeed, encouraging to producers
and to all classes in fact, that such pro-
titable prices prevail thus early in the
season, while the fact that it is in de-
mand on market shows that another
year prices will in all probability be
eqaully as good. 1t is also accepted by
many as a sign of yet better prices
within few months for the crop OF
81. The farmers of Audubon county
have been blessed with much more
bountiful crop than have those in othel
parts of this and adjoining states
and the prevailing prices insure goot
pay for the years work.

INSocENTLY foreshadowing TIN
plans of their leaders certain democrat
ic newspapers are showing how easily
they could attain ascendency in Iowa b,
fusing with the union labor party, A.
the votes were cast this year. that plan
would have made the republican ma
jority very narrow, and it is figuring
from this with liberal proportion OF
hope for an increased union labor vote
another year, that encourages the de
mocracy to court fusion of forces. 1t is
a presumption that facts would not sus
tain, for the principle of the union Ia
Dor voters would be forsaken by fusion
and they would then return with aIac,
rity to the party of their first choice. 1t
is a scheme, however. whose fulfilment

Be Thoughtful of the Poor.

Thanksgiving day-a day of the faith
ers and of the best of American history.
There are many people so situated that
they do not see much of the goodness
that is in other people, and so miss the
key that can alone unlock the sources of
reform and give to live its purer, better
atmosphere. There is so much of the
exhibition of selfishness, so much of
utter carelessness of the happiness of
Others, that there ought to be some ex-
ertion to lift the veil to the better
thought and action on such days as
Thanksgiving. This exertion should be
put forth in the direction of the poor
the people who judge the world from
the standpoint of their own hard lot in
it. 1t does not SO much matter about
those of bright and comfortable homes,
where there is always enough and to
spare; for love does daily Office in such
homes, and the best heart of the world is
familiar at the family board. What is
wanted most is that the cause for
Thanksgiving should be seen by those
whose surroundings are not of daily
suggestion.
Every good thing in human progress
is dependent for fruition upon the
warmth of the heart. The children of
the poor and wretched need to feel this
warmth coming in upon them from a
world which looks dark and cold and
cruel to them. They need the reyela-
ton of it, the lifting power of it, SO that
their lives may get the inspiration of
the sunshine, and be taught of them
selves as to the direction of the light.
1t is not so much the food that may be
given at Thanksgiving time, or the
clothes and toys of Christmas time, as
it is the magical touch of the divinity of
human nature, for which the season
makes excuse and affords opportunity.
There is always to some so much of
cause for thanksgiving; there is always
to some so little cause. And those who
are appreciative, as they think, and de-
serving, as they believe, are neither the
one nor the other if they do not go out
in thanksgiving toward the poor-to,
ward the homeless, toward the sick and
struggling, toward the barefoots and
the tattered ones of the great worlds
poor. Let the child's great eyes drink
in your thought of love, and the oldel
ones give thanks because of you.-
